The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Juda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam cum regnare cœpisset : decem et septem annos regnavit in Jerusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi, ex omnibus tribubus Israël. Nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ Ῥοβοὰμ υἱὸς Σαλωμὼν ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰουδά· υἱὸς τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐνιαυτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν· καὶ δέκα ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, τῇ πόλει ἣν ἐξελέξατο Κύριος θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μααχὰμ Ἀμμανεῖτις.
Hebrew (WLC): וּרְחַבְעָם֙ בֶּן שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּֽיהוּדָ֑ה בֶּן אַרְבָּעִ֣ים וְאַחַ֣ת שָׁנָה֩ רְחַבְעָ֨ם בְּמָלְכ֜וֹ וּֽשֲׁבַ֨ע עֶשְׂרֵ֥ה שָׁנָ֣ה מָלַ֣ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם הָ֠עִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה לָשׂ֨וּם אֶת שְׁמ֥וֹ שָׁם֙ מִכֹּל֙ שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ נַעֲמָ֖ה הָעַמֹּנִֽית

Haydock's commentary

Forty. Some suspect there is a mistake, and that it should be twenty-one. See 1 Paralipomenon xxii. 5. (Grotius) (Du Hamel)

Hardouin dates from the æra of Solomon. Roboam was young, in the Scripture style. But he might be forty-one years old, chap. xii. 10. (Calmet)

Ammonitess. She probably perverted her son; (Menochius) so that he only continued three years faithful to the Lord; (2 Paralipomenon xi. 17.) when his people readily imitated the idolatry of Israel, as they had been already staggered in their faith by the conduct of Solomon. (Calmet)
